Well, the first one arrived today. Glad I went for slightly bonkers colours. This one is KLM light blue, it should look very good when all the sign writing is done thumbup

It’s really split opinion, most people loving it, some calling it a chavvy POS hehe



They come with a very snazzy presentation kit, it’s got a baseball cap, pen, torch and some other bits, worth every penny of the £56k+vat list price hehe
Ouch!

I cancelled an order for one in very early 2020 as I was buying another house and wanted to sort the new mortgage out first. Wasn't an MS-RT, top spec Sport with pretty much every option ticked. Just under £30k including VAT. Then the world went to st and the same van now comes to just under £50k with only a couple of options. As much as I try I can't justify it anymore so I'm having to limp my trusty and increasingly rusty Mk7 on for as long as I can! cry

Yes it’s all gone a bit silly really. I’m taking comfort in selling 3/4 year old vans with 40k on them for more than were paid for them new!
